Aye. That's it for all the 319s still remaining south.

Just to show me how I was meant to get them. I had 319421 twice (both unexpectedly - I had gen but was only planning on getting it midday), the first train after arriving into London and the last train before leaving.

 

[Techniquest]

Nicely done, you'll be off to Liverpool and Manchester in May I reckon to finish them off!

Hoping to bump up my scores with some 350s in a couple of weeks, although equally I'll be very happy to get my LM 321s finished. Another 11 days to go yet, I should actually get on and look up hotels...

Where are you going?

Do you still need may TPE 350s?

LM Great Escape, all being well!

I need 9 TPX 350/4s, saving that for a future trip in the North West. Possibly North West Rover later this year, but who knows?

 

[Kite159]

Probably the best if you want to score those 350/4s is on a Greater Manchester Rail Rover, between Man Pic/Man Oxford & Wigan NW, although on a weekday it has the evening peak restriction (avoided with the Wayfarer which gives access to the tram network as well).

My plan for Saturday is to have a Pacer overload in South Wales

 

[Techniquest]

I'll be going for the 350/4s as part of a shack scratching mission up that way

Hope it's a good trip in South Wales for you!

The "Arriva Train Wales Valley Lines Random DMU Generator" (also known as the ATWVLRDMUG [doesn't have the same ring as the NRDMUG]) was kind in giving quite a few 150s. Remaining ATW units: 4 x 142s, 5 x 143s, 8 x150s, 4 x 153s, 6 x 158s, 13 x 175s.

That leaves me with just one 170 and one unextended Capitalstar to go, and 158797 was my final Northern 158.

*Raises eyebrow*

When did the 378s get renumbered?

Well done on the Northern 158s, I've around 6 to go IIRC. 1 170, out of the entire lot across the entire country? If so then very much well done on getting down to just 1 more, too many to count for me!

Not a bad haul whatsoever, you clearly needed quite a bit with ATW!

ARDMUG (Arriva Random DMU Generator) sounds even better

Haha that is my way of shorthanding 378146/5. All extended Capitalstars will be written like that. Annoyingly with the extension program, all units will have to be done again.

I do this to modified units (which had additional carriages inserted) to keep the notes in consistent format. Other examples include 220907, and the "fake" S8s (21905, 21923, etc), to name two.

That final Northern 158 took a good few years to get tbh. I have always only seen it on the Yorkshire coast so assumed that it remained there. It was pure luck I found it yesterday on the Sheffield - Leeds circuit.

The 170 is indeed the last one of the whole lot. I completed /1s in March 2013, /2s in October 2013, /4s in November last year, and both /5s and /6s in December.

Ahhhh, a bit like I was doing for a brief period with re-engine'd FGW HST power cars, adding 200 to the number to indicate it was a MTU'd machine. Didn't carry that on for long fortunately.

Know how you feel with the 158, it took me many years to get my last 2 221s. Very nice that it happened to be in the right place, right time for you!

Incredibly good going then with the 170s, I need 26 of them (across the /2, /3 and /4 sub-classes) and hoping to change that later this year. Too many things to aim for to guarantee getting that done yet!

 

[bb21]

The Scottish 170s are likely to be a pain and I suspect that by the time you get down to the last few (four is usually my threshold in a "big" sub-class/pool), some gen would go a long way. Gonna be lots of boring Waverley - Haymarket leaps though.

True, but that's not something I've got to be concerned with this year (I doubt I'll be getting to my last 5 ScotRail 170s before 2017 to be honest), and they're going to be about for quite some time yet. It's more my ScotRail 158s, particularly the Inverness lot, that will take some doing. Again, not something to be concerned with for a while at least

43153

One of the regular trains that I use being a 150 as opposed to a 143 had been beneficial in getting more lines in the book, but the stand out one for me on that list is 43153 yesterday - even if I was stood on the train it was working for an hour and a half to do 3/4 mile (it was the one which didn't make it up the hill between Exeter St Davids and Central!)

It therefore means that 43149 is now my only required FGW power car, so the hunt for that begins

 

[Techniquest]

Well done on getting down to your last FGW HST power car, even though the penultimate one was in rather unusual circumstances! Certainly seems bizarre to hear of an HST unable to make it up the hill!

Hopefully this time in 7 days I'll be posting a decent length list of winners from #operationdesiro

First and possibly last time ever that the Shanghai Metro will be mentioned on Red Pen threads! Certainly can't imagine many of us getting those in the book!
